Help Authenticate: Rolex Explorer II 16570
Need help to authenticate a Rolex Explorer II (16570).
Pics are not very good but they are all I have at this time. Will be doing a FTF meeting tomorrow. Any input and advise is much appreciated. |

Those first two pics appear to be a real Explorer II, but the rest (and likely the one you would receive) appears to be of the fake variety....good luck with this one....

Looks like he pulled a couple of authentic pics off the net, then put some of the fake watch he is selling. What a muppet

Here's a link to the CL listing. I live in the SF Bay Area and I ran across this ad as well. Terrible story and fake watch.

His grasp of the English language is as appalling as his watch.

Thank you everyone for their advice.
What an amazing community! I will pass on it. Could not believe he pulled the military service BS on me. I guess I have a soft spot for the men and women serving. |

Smart move...this deal would have gone terribly bad for you one way or another.
